| Abstract: | An attempt has been made to compare the quality of pashmina shawls
developed on traditional and woollen handlooms using both hand-spun and
machine-spun yarns for various physico-mechanical parameters. The experimental
plan includes preparation of both hand-spun and machine-spun yarns followed by
the preparation of pashmina shawls from these yarns on both traditional and
woollen handlooms, and their quality evaluation. Number of
fibres/cross-section, count, elongation percentage, tenacity and coefficient of
friction show significant difference between hand-spun and machine-spun yarns.
The quality evaluation tests of fabrics reveal that weight/m2,
thickness, picks/inch, extension percentage, bending rigidity, frictional
properties and total hand value show significant difference, whereas ends/inch,
breaking load, tenacity, bending length, abrasion loss and shrinkage loss do
not show significant difference. The study reveals that the overall quality of
pashmina shawls developed on traditional loom using hand-spun yarn is better
than the other types of shawls developed and studied. |
